Build Your Wings on the Way Down
Build Your Wings on the Way Down by z ku
He waited for something else to come through, to hear Izuku or one of the other voices that Keigo had already imprinted into his memory. For seconds that stretched on like hours, all he heard was silence.
And then Izuku was walking, his pace slow, subdued, and unsteady.
Stepandpauseandstepandpause. - Or: A little bird falls and Keigo is there to catch him.

Going Up in Flames (Don't Watch Me Burn)
Going Up In Flames (Don't Watch Me Burn) by z ku
The rest of the world could choose him. And, more times than not, they had. Scrawny, quirkless Izuku hadn't been worth the choice; not even gaining All Might's power had been enough to clear Izuku of that stain, of being undeserving.
Everyone still takes his side… Everyone always picks Kacchan.
Except Shouto… and, if that were true, then he was offering Izuku something he'd never had before: genuine concern, acknowledgement, priority, the promise of protection.
Izuku realized that he wanted. He wanted that badly. To believe, to be considered, to be seen in his entirety and still be chosen.
And it seemed that Shouto was ready to give. - or: I hate D v. K 2 very very much, but I love protective!shouto.

A Resemblance of Sunshine
A Resemblance of Sunshine by z ku
“Why, sensei? During our apprehension test, you said I couldn't be a hero with my power, and you were right! You were right but you didn't expel me and I don't understand why. I-I… I'm not a hero, I can't be one. I can't move forward or do better, become better, because I keep failing with everything I do. I've been training as much as I can, I pay attention in class, I'm trying so hard but none of it matters because it all still falls apart. There's no way for me to make this quirk my own; I don't deserve it, and I don't deserve any of the opportunities I've been given. You should have expelled me but you didn't and I've made it all so hard for you and everyone else and I'm s-sorry for not being enough and a-and and”

Visiting Hours
Visiting Hours by z ku
Maybe Izuku had their injuries in mind. Not just himself and Shouto, but all the students and pro heroes who had touched ground on the warzone. Maybe he worried over something deeper, something haunting that medical attention or the prospect of Eri's rewind would never be able to scab over. The recollection of blood-soaked soil and the sound of screams; Shigaraki's voice ringing in his head: You think you're the only one who wanted to be good, to be loved? I just wanted someone to listen, to care, but they all just walked past me! Everyday, they watched me suffer, and you heroes… You're no different... - Or: Izuku and Shouto share a moment after the war.

Joys of Summer
Joys of Summer by z ku
It reminded Izuku of the summer evenings that barely existed in the span of his memory. Fireflies glowing above the plane of their backyard, at the tips of chubby fingers that hadn't yet learned what scars felt like. Mom's gentle voice calling out that it was late and time for bed; time to leave the magic of his favorite solstice behind so that he could wake up to it again in the morning.
Eijiro's warmth, his proximity and friendship, were otherworldly too. - Or: Eijiro and Izuku are best friends and the "squads" are reversed.

Hope is the Thing with Wings
Hope is the Thing with Wings by z ku
Izuku took it in, shuffling just a step closer to get a better look. He'd never seen a bird that color around before. That thought had him looking past his shoulder, up as if he could catch a glimpse of reddened wings spread against the inky shadows of the sky. But there was nothing there, so he forced his eyes back to the lone plumage. Shrugging away the whisper of hesitation, Izuku reached out to pinch his fingers around the feather's calamus. Flimsy barbs tickled at his knuckles, soft and silky.
He carried the feather home with him. - Or: Izuku takes a dive, just to be saved.

Pulling My Strings

“I can see that you're struggling. I know that school is a weight to carry in itself, not to mention the pressure that comes with upholding One for All's legacy… And I'm always here for you, please know that.

It doesn't always help me sleep,” the pro doesn't bother mentioning that most days, nothing gets the job done, “but it makes me feel more comfortable. Grounded. You can give it a try.

Enough
Enough by z ku
That's why, when Izuku realized he couldn't pick up anything from Shouto, he felt a little uneasy. He couldn't make out if he was being studied with genuine curiosity or disdain. He began to doubt if Shouto had stayed close, kept contact, to show he still cared or if he had decided this would be the last time. The last time he would indulge Izuku's clinginess, his omitted lies and weakness, before leaving. - Or: Izuku tells Shouto about One for All.

I think I hate...
I think I hate... by z ku
I said that we're rivals, Sho. Me and you. We compete and work against each other when class calls for it. But we're still best friends and I know that you care about me. Kacchan and I aren't like that. We're not rivals.
“I'm something like an inconvenience for him; a pebble that managed to get too big, too bothersome that, at every turn, Kacchan wants to crush me down as he sees fit. That has nothing to do with competing. It's never been about that for Kacchan.”
Or: I'm still salty about Bakugou slamming his gauntlet into Izuku's face during their final exam. This is the result.
